The Brewing Network Presents | Dr. Homebrew

Since we have two master-level BJCP judges on staff, we thought it would be a great time to review those score sheets we keep filling out. They are equal parts clear and confusing, and there is definitely a correct way to go through them. Mainly, with as much information as possible. But what KIND of information? Well, we talk about that and more, on today's show!

When it rains, it pours, folks. Not only do we have one Vienna Lager on today's show, but we have TWO! Normally having the same style on both segments of the show is annoying, but for a great style like Vienna Lager, we were able to set aside our usual expectations and take a deep dive into one of our favorite beer styles.

Baltic Porter is a great style that is also hard to master. On today's show, the boys get sent a homebrew example of this fine style, which is always fun. We also get to run through another style that is equally hard to manage but good at the same time - Altbier! If you want to learn something about these two styles, this is the show for you.

American Stout? Sure, that's a thing. Coffee Milkshake IPA? That we weren't so sure about. Dan sent us that one, and we definitely had some things to say about it, and most weren't bad, if you can believe that. It is very much a style that has potential. If you can believe that.

Our very own Brian Cooper is subjected to the Dr. Homebrew treatment today, as we judge his Grapefruit Blonde Ale. We also tackle a commercial calibration beer from Guinness - a Milk Stout. This was brewed at their Baltimore brewery, and was a nice surprise to find on the shelf out here.

In the long history of beer styles we've never had on the show, Rye Brown Ale has to be at the top of that list. Today on Dr. Homebrew, we tackle this odd style with a very nice homebrewed version, We also review an American IPA, because it wouldn't be a beer show without one.

Kolsch is probably the greatest beer style there is, and you can't tell us otherwise because we said "probably". Today on the show, we judge a homebrewed Kolsch that was packaged using one of those fancy seamers designed for homebrewers, so that was cool. Then we break down a Catharina Sour beer, a style we don't get enough of.
